Safe Church (Reduce the Risk Policy)


 SAFE CHURCH (Reduce the Risk Policy)

Our church has a program to assure everyone that our church is a safe place, especially for the young and the vulnerable.  We screen all people who work with children and youth and we have guidelines for their work in the church (for example all class rooms have windows and 2 teachers per class). 

Part of the process is an application which the teacher or youth worker must fill out, and then we send out reference forms to a person in the church and to someone outside the church.  Some of you may have received these forms recently.  We are trying to catch up on a number of applications that were never completed.  We appreciate your assistance in filling out the applications and reference forms.  After this process is completed we should be ready to start applications for new teachers in the fall. 

The Safe Church committee will also be considering this summer the suggestion that the church go further in assessing the appropriateness of all volunteers.  They will report on this to the congregation.
